EXTEND
FULL SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY TO THE STRUGGLE OF DEFENCE EMPLOYEES FOR EXISTENCE.

Hon'be
Defence Minister Sri Arun Jaitley has taken decision to outsource 143 products
to PRIVATE SECTOR which are being at present manufactured by ordnance factories
of Govt of India. Accordingly Defence Ministry has issued orders on 27.04.2017.
On implementation of the above major policy decision of the Defence Ministry
,the job of almost 20000 (twenty thousand) defence civilian employees of
ordnance factories involved in the production of these 143 products will be at
stake. Jobs which are now performed by dedicated ordnance factory workers for
years together are being snatched and given to private sector. As a result
defence employees are facing serious threat to their job security.

Against
the above decision of the BJP-led NDA Government , defence employees are
organising series of agitational programmes including staying away from the
work for one hour during the beginning hour of the duty on24th May 2017 and
conducting demonstrations. Confederation National Secretariat calls upon all
affiliate's and COC's to extend full support and solidarity to the struggle of
the defence employees against privatisation and for job security. Leaders of
the Confederation are requested to visit the leaders of ordance factory workers
and All India Defence Employees Federation which is spearheading the struggle
and convey our support in person .
